Konrad Ciborowski:

>>if you don't have it on your CC you cannot play it. Period.

Wayne Burrows:

>Where is the line you are drawing Richard?

Richard Hills:

The point that I was making is Konrad's "Period." assertion
had a bit of poetic license, and there is indeed a line to be
drawn.  An infinitesimal number of partnerships would ever be
able to fit _all_ of their agreements and negative inferences
onto their system cards / convention cards.

In my opinion only significant agreements need to be written
on the system card, and only very significant agreements
need to be pre-alerted.

Of course, the definitions of "significant" and "very
significant" depend upon the local sponsoring organisation's
regulations for the particular event in question.

My initial response to Wayne's question may have been a bit
harsh.  The ABF system regulations state that if a natural
one-level opening bid in a suit is overcalled conventionally,
and that conventional overcall does not guarantee an anchor
suit, then that conventional overcall is defined as Brown
Sticker.  If New Zealand uses a parallel definition of Brown
Sticker then indeed such Brown Sticker overcalls not only must
be written on the system card, but also must be pre-alerted.
